Pros: Great frame rates, great image quality. I have yet to find a game that's not playable at 1920x1600 with quality turned up.
Cons: Hot Card. In my system it was idling at 75C. Newest ATI drivers allow manual fan control, but when I turned up the fan to lower the temp, it was LOUD.
Overall Review: I replaced the stock cooler w/ 3rd party cooler and I'm getting 45C at idle w/ 3rd party cooler at lowest fan setting. It's quiet and card seems to work better.
